But the other crows laugh at him, and Charlie goes on an adventure to find others like him. He meets many other birds, who all sound and look different…
This is a gentle exploration of accepting difference for young and old alike. Recommended for ages 2 and up.
We hope to share the love of languages and learning. Woop! Thank you to all the volunteer translators – we couldn’t have done this without you.
More languages, coming soon! Keep an eye out.
Currently in the works: Polish, Dutch, German, Filipino, Spanish, Finnish and more!
Inclusion and accessibility is important. Not everyone can see, or hear, or experience books in the traditional manner, so we’ve added this multi-sensory section for children with severe/profound and/or multiple learning disabilities.
At the back of the book you’ll find a series of pages – one for each bird Charlie meets.
Suzy, the world famous in New Zealand children’s presenter, featured Charlie the Crow on her Book corner. Read along with Suzy!
Oscar gives a well considered review about this very special book, Charlie the Crow. He points out lots of interesting things about the book, including the special sensory pages in the back of the book, and how much he enjoyed the book.
It means the text is available in English AND another language on the same page. Cool, hey?
Sharing the love of languages and learning is a priority for us – all our books will be available in bilingual forms.
If there isn’t a language available and you’d like to see it – let us know!
We hope you enjoy the birthday kit! It was a lot of fun to put together. If you’re willing to share, we’d love to see photos of your party!
